When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it when leads come from sources like trade show badge scanners, chatbots, or old imports that store names in all caps or all lowercase.
  • Use it before any personalized email or external-facing export that displays the name to the contact or a third party.

Skip it

  • Do not use it on legal or brand-style company names without a bypass list. Naive title-casing breaks names like "iPhone", "eBay", or acronym companies such as "IBM".
  • Do not use it to fix first/last name reversal (names swapped between the two fields). That needs a separate manual review process, not a formatting action.
